Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Another name that [Kitten ON]. With extra D'awwwwww.

I know we recently had a similar thread, but we have some kittens that will be joining us in a couple weeks and we are not decided on names. They are brothers and so we are leaning towards famous duo names, but open to suggestions.

Both of us love video games and our top choice so far is Cloud (for the silver one) and Sephiroth, but I'm thinking Sephiroth might be a bit long for a cat name.

Bender and Fry
Hedwig, Crookshanks, and/or Scabbers
Ratchet and Clank
Banjo and Kazooie
Crash and Sly
Jak and Daxter
Joe and Mac (am I the only one who played it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_%26_Mac )
Sora and Riku
Kirby and Sonic (just because the names seem to go together well)

Keep in mind that most pet names, if they are not already one syllable, will probably get shortened to one syllable over time. So, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern will probably become Rosey and Guildy or something like that. Holmes and Moriarity might become Holmes/Mo. At least that's been my experience.

This is why I wasn't so sure about Cloud and Sephiroth, because there is no good way to shorten that. There are some great suggestions here! Keep em' coming and help us come to a decision.

Also, in our computer/gaming room we are making a small mario mural and some mario related cat furniture in the way of the green pipes (in carpet) and cubes.

I used to own two cats who were brothers named Mario (black and white) and Luigi (dark gray tabby; as a toddler, I thought he was greenish gray and would draw him with a green crayon)--so, that's always an option.

Also, this is just personal taste, but I love names that have lots of potential fun nicknames. For example: My roommate has a big gray kitty with white socks. So her name is Socks - sorta boring. But her nicknames! We call her Socko, Miss Socko, Sockster, Sockette, Socksee... everything.

And maybe you could go with Sephiroth and just abbreviate to Seph? That might sound awkward - like you're trying to say Seth but you have a weird lisp - but it could work!

I bet everyone who gives their cat a fancy name like "Sephiroth" eventually ends up calling it some daft cat name like Mr Fuzz-Fuzz, because it is just impossible to take a creature very seriously that spends hours licking its own bottom.
